Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, says 

 the carnations this year appear to be 

 in much better shape than last year, 

 when the majority of the first arrivals 

 of the longer stems from the new crops 

 were weak. This season the plants had 

 less rain in the field and are making a 

 better showing. 



The Geo. Wittbold Co. reports a 

 heavier business this summer than ever 

 before. Alterations at Edgebrook to ac- 

 commodate a new rose house have been 

 completed and things are in shape for 

 the winter. Fred Nelson, manager of 

 the retail department, is on his vacation 

 and will be gone about three weeks, 

 touring Colorado in the neighborhood 

 of Denver and Colorado Springs. Miss 

 Frances Nagler has returned from her 

 vacation in Wisconsin. 



Leon E. Sawicki left Monday for the 

 convention at Minneapolis. From there 

 he goes to accept a position at We- 

 natchee, Wash. 



In order that he might attend the 

 convention at Minneapolis, Oscar Leist- 

 ner returned from his eastern trip Au- 

 gust 17, and left for the convention city 

 August 18. Mr. Leistner's trip took him 

 to all the big floral centers of the east, 

 and he reports the demand for Ameri- 

 can oak sprays to be far greater than at 

 this time last year. 



Astermums have found a steady de- 

 mand this summer, according to A. L. 

 Vaughan, who says they needed no 

 boosting, but sold at a good deal better 

 price than the ordinary asters. Mr. 

 Vaughan found it impossible to get 

 away to the convention this year owing 

 to the rush of business, but held an open

house for all those who went to Minne- 

 apolis via the Windy City. 



Three new roses were cut this week 

 by Weiland & Bisch and at the market 

 store Milady, Mrs. Bussell and a new 

 seedling of their own, Dolly Varden, a 

 pink tea rose, were standing side by 

 side. John Risch is well pleased with 

 the Mrs. Eussell. 



Another who is predicting popularity 

 for the new Mrs. Russell is John Sinner. 

 He says the first few cuts have shown 

 excellent 3eiUj»g. (m«^ities. He expects 

 a good crop snjortly from the SOO^planta 

 now in the houses at Evanston. 



Zech & Mann report that the Beauty 

 cut they are receiving at present aver- 

 ages about 2,000 each day, and Mr. Zech 

 says from the present indications there 

 will be plenty for all from now on. He 

 adds that the new ice-box has proven 

 itself equal to the test and works like 

 a charm. This week was the first time 

 it was put in full operation. The old 



one will be used for any overflow that 

 may develop. 



A new sprayer, designed for green- 

 house use, has been put on the market 

 by the Star Brass Co., 1911 Fulton 

 street, Chicago. The new model holds- 

 twelve gallons and is mounted on wheels 

 in order that it may be readily moved 

 about. It is only thirteen inches wide 

 and can easily be wheeled in between 

 the benches of almost any house. The 

 Star Brass Co. has been manufacturing 

 what is known as the Binks sptayers for 

 almost flfteen years. 



Guy Reburn, of A. Henderson & Co., 

 was back in town for a few days, but left 

 almost as quickly as he got in. He took 

 the train for Minneapolis August 17, 

 following A. Miller, who left twenty- 

 four hours earlier. Together they were 

 prepared to represent their firm at the 

 annual S. A. F. gathering, 



Chicago held a convention of ^^s own*
